Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

White supremacy is terrorism.

This fight is for everything.

Let there be snark.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Consistently wrong since 2002

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Second rate reporter says what?

You can’t love your country only when you win.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

The hits keep coming for State Dept. IG Howard Krongard:

Two career investigators in the office of State Department Inspector General Howard J. Krongard have charged that they were threatened with firing if they cooperated with a congressional probe of Krongard and his office.

Correct me if I have this wrong, but I think that the law discourages threatening employees for cooperating with an investigation.

    Law, whose law? The law is what King George the Malevolent says it is. Those two career investigators were obviously traitorous democrats. Everybody knows the State Department is a nest of vermin hippies and peace-mongers who’d sell out this country in a heartbeat with gestures of good will and other friendly non-sense. Everybody knows Crony Krongard is doing a heck-of-a job at keeping war alive. So just get off his back, OK.

    Oh, but the thing is, being a member of the Bush Administration exempts you from such petty trivialities as the law. After 7 years, you’d think you’d learn that…

    I get it now, all the labor laws and employee protection laws weren’t made to protect us from unscrupulous business owners, they were meant to protect us from republicans!

    So it’s illegal. This is the Bush admin. we’re talking about. It’s not like the Congress is suddenly going to grow a spine and do something about it. Sheesh, get a grip!

    The State Dept: When you’re here you’re family.

    I think it reads better with a capitalized Family, but maybe that’s just my Italian ancestry talking.

    It may well be possible that Condi is even more incompetent than Rummy. I never cease to be amazed by this crowd.

    I thought the Conservatarian mantra was: If you didn’t do anything wrong, you shouldn’t have anything to hide.

    Were they not serious when they said that?

  2. […] What finally drove “cookie” Krongard to quit? Under normal circumstances being credibly accused of actively covering up departmental abuses that range from ordinary contracting fraud to slavery would do it. If that didn’t work his, how should we say, innovative personnel policies would finish the job. […]
